Daniel Hecht's story made me fall in love -- with a hard land and a harder way of life, with tough women and noble men, and the complex ecosystem that is the human family. . . . In times of darkness, a story like this gives light, and strength, and hope.

Thank you to all the Blackstone Publishing folks for being so helpful and accommodating through every stage of writing, editing, and copy-editing On Brassard's Farm.

More thanksto Laurie R. King, David Huddle, Philip Baruth, and Heidi Jon Schmidt for writing such insightful and positive commentary on my new book. I urge my readers to discover these marvelous writers:

On Brassard's Farmwill be published by Blackstone Publishing in April, 2018. Thanks are due to Rick Bleiweiss, who encouraged me to complete this story of a woman discovering the wonders and difficulties of living in the deep woods, working on a dairy farm, and accidentally discovering love.

A wondrous, unique love story . . . There is backbreaking labor, beauty, tragedy, and joy in this story of starting life again. -- Publishers Weekly
